Abstract

Abstract: Objective: To provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of vascular malformations in the floor of mouth. Methods: A retrospective study was performed on vascular malformations in the floor of mouth by assessing the clinical data of 27 patients. Results: There were more women than men in the patients, half of whom were aged 4 years or younger. Mostly, the lesions occurred at birth or within a few months after birth, with the main symptom was progressive growth. Venous malformations and lymphatic malformations were the most common types, majority of which were presented as single lesion, and sometimes they were misdiagnosed as tumors or cysts of salivary glands in the floor of mouth. The treatments, in our study, were primarily sclerotherapy and surgical excision. Some patients underwent a preventive tracheotomy. Conclusion: Vascular malformations in the floor of mouth occurred mainly in children. Auxiliary examination would be necessary to achieve an accurate diagnosis in some cases. The treatments were principally sclerotherapy and surgical excision.

Key words: vascular malformations, the floor of the mouth, clinical features, treatment
